Came here around 11:50 am on a Thursday to get lunch. This location is right on Steven's Creek and parking is very easy--it's free, never too many cars, and lots of parking spots.
The line
It appeared a bit busy when I arrived--three people were waiting for their order and I was the third in the line. The line goes by very fast and the staff is nice! It only took 5-10 minutes after ordering to receive the food.
The food
Nothing has changed since coming here for years...The food is consistently fresh, the staff is pleasant, and I am very happy with my order!
I LOVE their #12 Vegetarian Banh mi sandwich! If you're vegetarian like me, TRY THIS. The bread is crunchy and toasty but not tough, the shredded tofu and pickled veggies aren't too salty or overbearing, and the size of the sandwich is very nice for the price you get. Oh, I can't take spicy so I always ask for the jalapeños to be removed. I don't know if I have been craving this for the longest time, but literally every bite into the sandwich was *chef's kiss* (aka absolutely delicious). My parents enjoy their #4 grilled chicken and #5 grilled pork sandwich.
After all these years, I finally tried their signature Iced Coffee during this visit. I didn't know what to expect but I have heard Lee's Iced Coffee is made with condensed milk. When I took my first sip, it was VERY tasty, and dare I say a bit too sweet for me (and I have a BIG sweet tooth!) But no problem--when I got home, I diluted it with ice and it was just fine. This wasn't a big issue for me... I would still give Lee's Sandwiches 5 stars!
Overall, 5/5 for the food and experience and quick in & out. The staff informed me they bake a fresh batch of baguettes almost every 30 minutes here! I happened to get there at a good time that day. Highly recommend! They always have an assortment of food and drinks to choose as well around the shop from if you like that (see pictures).
Lee's Sandwich had some of the best to go sandwiches. Super clean and less cluttered then some of the other locations (not that it's a bad thing). The Cupertino location has a dine-in option.
The menu has a great variety from sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and pho. Both made to order foods and packaged food/snacks.
I finally got a good breakfast sandwich!!! I love the 6 st location but they never got my breakfast sandwich right in 3 tries. Just egg and Swiss on croissant. I am grateful for this location for a yummy late breakfast. Same delicious ice coffee and good service. The menu here doesn't have as much as 6 st location though.
Grabbed the #12 veggie sandwich and an Arizona iced tea. The sandwich was absolutely great. Veggies were fresh, bread was crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The taste was fresh, sweet, sour...basically everything I was looking for in a banh mi and and a great price! Unfortunately, Lee's decided to make up that price difference by charing me $2.50 for the Arizona iced tea which clearly states on the can that it is 99-cents! Will I be back? Probably. Will I pay over 2x mark-up for canned tea. Never again.
A personal twist on the Banh Mi sandwitches, Lee's Sandwiches is one of if not the largest vietnamese sandwich shop around. They make their own bread daily, which is very good and crunchy. Their prices are a bit higher than the others but quality is pretty good and uniform amongst it's stores. Although I think the meat quality is below some of their smaller competition, it's fair to good still. They do offer more Americanized sandwiches, which are on par or better than their American counterparts chain stores, and at competitive prices in that regard. All in all it's a good sandwich shop.
Always delicious sandwiches. I usually get the #8 Bahn Mi and it’s really good. Springs rolls are pretty good too.
Excellent sandwich and fast vietnamese food. I dont give 5 stars because it is not a fancy place. The chicken curry soup was great.
I visit Lee's at several locations. The taste varies from store to store a bit. This store was pretty good but not my favorite.
